Review Quotes:
"Haunting and disturbing. The voices of the victims will forever touch my heart. To turn a deaf ear to this type of injustice is to give permission for it to continue. As a people, as a society, we should be outraged." --Jennifer Thompson, coauthor of Picking Cotton
"[The Boys of the Dark] reads seamlessly.... A worthy exploration of a regrettably long-lasting true-crime nightmare." --Kirkus "This deeply moving story is highly recommended to readers of heart-wrenching memoirs, 20th-century American studies, or true crime." --Library Journal "Unimaginably moving--readers will want to keep a box of tissues at hand--and deeply compassionate." --People on After the Fire "Honest and intimate... Fisher conveys a deep respect and compassion for all involved." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on After the Fire
